But how do we expect to have perfect comprehension if we don’t listen to native speakers?

This is the reason why we decided to create this blog in the first place. Our main goal is to give you helpful tips on how to improve your English speaking.

As a first step, we’d like to suggest you to listen to native speakers of your native language.

First, of course, you should listen to native speakers of the language you are currently learning. This will help you make better assessments of what you have learned so far.

Let your friends speak English with you regularly

You can learn new phrases, words and expressions from your friends. That is a great way to improve your English skills. On top of that, you’ll also be learning a lot from their experience.

Apart from talking to your friends, you can also make an effort to learn some basic grammar rules from the internet.

But remember: your friend will be learning English just as you are and you should make sure to show respect.
